Depending on where the tsamma melons, Citrullus lanatus, grow in the park they will have a different chemical composition and taste due to centuries of water accumulation, evaporation and drought.

The Black Sash was a non-violent white women's resistance organisation in South Africa. It was founded by Jean Sinclair in 1955. The organisation initially campaigned against the removal of mixed race voters.

In the early 1900s, two artists, Mary Page and Beatrice Carter, were employed by the Bolus Herbarium to illustrate a hugely diverse family of succulent plants, which are almost endemic to Southern Africa. Their delicate, precise and vividly coloured botanical drawings are now freely accessible online. These are illustrations of species of the plant family Aizoaceae (Vygies).
